[QUOTE="Ilbranteloth, post: 6799295, member: 6778044"] I thought we were talking about whether we liked dragonborn in the Forgotten Realms, not Realms canon. Does that mean that only those that have and incorporate all officially published Realms products can participate? Is there anybody that plays it 100% canon? And my orcs look like the ones sculpted by Tom Meier for Ral Partha c1979: [url]http://www.ralpartha.com/images/Orcs-RossR.jpg[/url] As I have always said, this is how I run my Forgotten Realms. As I mentioned before, and it is specifically noted in the campaign settings of older editions, the SCAG, Elminter's Forgotten Realms, etc: (paraphrasing) This is your Forgotten Realms. Pick what you like. Ignore what your don't. Make it your own. I have. I like what I've got. Perhaps there are some who come to the Realms later than me that don't realize that it was originally published as a very Tolkienesque setting that was extremely humanocentric, and that decisions made to homogenized this unique works had robbed it of some of that uniqueness. Surely we can discuss what we like and don't like about the setting? And how we use the setting in our campaign? Ilbranteloth [/QUOTE]
